Moderator: Randolph May, The Progress & Freedom Foundation

Networked industries do not need regulatory intervention to ensure interconnection, conclude Richard Levine and Randolph May in the recently released special report, "Interconnection Without Regulation: Lessons for Telecommunications Reform from Four Network Industries." By examining other network industries, Levine and May determine that there are sufficient economic incentives to ensure interconnection among operators without the need for regulatory intervention. Panelists at the event will discuss the authors findings in the study and will discuss interconnection regulation in the broader context of proposed communications reform.
